Gosh! These are all terrific ideas. Thank you so much. I'm going to try and get started today. :flowerforyou:

Boy, I'm looking forward to hitting that size. Maybe in a year or so.... Congratulations!

Oh wow! That's terrific. Doesn't it make you happy when your kids have successes in their lives? How wonderful! Thank you for sharing this!

Welcome! I'm glad to see another member of the special needs community. I'm not sure that others understand the challenges that we face daily. We just need to keep building each other up and reminding ourselves and each other that we are important too!

Nice to meet you! I'm Melanie. I am the mother of a Special Needs daughter, 18 yrs old. I live in Scottsdale, AZ My husband is currently having to live in Beaufort, SC, because that is the only place he could get a job. I guess services for special needs kids are pretty bad in SC. They are pretty good in Arizona, but she…

For some reason The scale already shows me up 4 pounds......How can that be? At this rate, I'll be lucky to lose 10 pounds by March!

You are right, I have been more tired since I've been cutting calories and exercising instead of feeling better. I thought that as long as I stayed at least near 1200 calories I wouldn't slow my metabolism down. Thanks for taking time to answer my question!

That's 12.5 pounds a month. Whew! That's alot!

I guess I'm confused about how to read my BMR. I thought I was suppose to go below that to lose weight....

That's 50 pounds starting today, right? Not starting with what we have already lost so far? So this will be a NEW 50 pounds, if I understand you correctly?

Is it a frozen food?

I'm in for sure! My birthday is also on March 18th!

Is it too late to join? I think I really need the motivation.

I had them leave off the sour cream and quacamole. I used salsa instead. The appetizer came with 6, but I could only eat 3. That was 440 calories. It…

Have you tried the Waldon Farms Salad Dressings? They are better than anything else I've tasted. They are fat free and sugar free, so good for diabetics. 0 Calories. They also have a Raspberry Viniagrete that is wonderful.
